welp, now that ephi is gone, probably the worlds MOST BALANCED GOD DAMN BOSS. I'm just going to cry in a corner.
(Seriously theres like, 5 other bosses you could have replaced, See: CAPTAIN CAMPER, MR. I DON'T TAKE BLAST FORCE AND I DON'T HAVE TO CLICK EITHER, And lets not all forget about I HAVE 1 MILLION HP AND I CAN INSTA KILL loving ANYTHING)
somebody give me an avatar of a dead ephi so i can replace baldy
Balanced or not, the gameplay is not exciting. I can't say I get filled with fear when fighting Ephi (unless Luneth makes it OP. #nerfLulu)
Ephi is incredibly unbalanced. Whilst he is balanced in respects to his main characteristics (fast, can bounce around a map, decent health.) He simply lacks the useful auxiliary systems that, say, Dark Samus has. You can't hold down the right-click button in order to charge up a 360-degree area-of-effect shockwave, like Dark Samus' shield combined with Rotondo's blast, nor can you set down a shockwave-bomb trap at the spawn to stop agile normals, like Medusa's blood-bomb.
If Ephi had additional capabilities, then there would be plenty of potential to make him fun to use, and fun to fight. He's just too simple.
Edit: Cap point, not spawn.
